From Natural Science:

 

"The most endangered species

The honest man

Will still survive annihilation

Forming a world

State of integrity

Sensitive, open, and strong"

Marathon:

From first to last

The peak is never passed

Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes

One moment's high, and glory rolls on by

Like a streak of lightening that flashes and fades

In the summer sky

 

This the first one that comes to mind but there are so so many. :sigh:

You know how that rabbit feels

Going under your speeding wheels

Bright images flashing by

Like windshields towards a fly

Frozen in the fatal climb-

But the wheels of time-

Just pass you by...

 

Wheels can take you around

Wheels can cut you down

 

We can go from boom to bust

From dreams to a bowl of dust

We can fall from rockets' red glare

Down to "Brother can you spare-"

Another war-another waste land-

And another lost generation

This is what immediately springs to mind:

 

What you own is your own kingdom

What you do is your own glory

What you love is your own power

What you live is your own story

In your head is the answer

Let it guide you along

Let your heart be the anchor

And the beat of your own song

The treasure of a life is a measure of love and respect

The way you live, the gifts that you give

In the fullness of time

It's the only return that you expect

 

The future disappears into memory

With only a moment between

Forever dwells in that moment

Hope is what remains to be seen

I think it's going to be a long time before I can listen to that song again.

I'm not looking back

But I want to look around me now

See more of the people and the places that surround me now

Time stand still

Without knowing about the news that awaited us today, I've been blasting "Anthem" over the holidays for personal reasons.

 

It seems much more meaningful now.

Wind

In my hair

Shifting and drifting

Mechanical music

Adrenaline surge...

 

Well-weathered leather

Hot metal and oil

The scented country air

Sunlight on chrome

The blur of the landscape

Every nerve aware

Jacobs Ladder:

 

 

Follow men's eyes

As they look to the skies

The shifting shafts of shining

Weave the fabric of their dreams

 

 

Every time I hear these words, I feel so inspired.

Begin the day with a friendly voice

A companion unobtrusive

Plays that song that's so elusive

And the magic music makes your morning mood

 

Wow these lyrics now just took on a completely different meaning for me

I've collected some of my favorite lyrics by Neil. I realize now that there is an undercurrent of a dark undertone here.

 

As with other great philosophers throughout Western history, thanks for keeping it real, Neil.

LARGE PHILOSOPHICAL

 

All this time we're talking and sharing our Rational View

A billion other voices are spreading other news

 

We hold beliefs as a consolation

A way to take us out of ourselves

Meditation, or medication

A comfort, or a promised reward

 

Some will sell their dreams for small desires

Or lose the race to rats

 

All the busy little creatures

Chasing out their destinies

Living in their pools

They soon forget about the sea...

 

The balance can sometimes fail-

Strong emotions can tip the scale-

 

Wave after wave

Will flow with the tide

And bury the world as it does

Tide after tide

Will flow and recede

Leaving life to go on

As it was...

DARK SOCIAL REALITY

 

We shake our heads at the tragedy

 

Summer's going fast,

Nights growing colder

Children growing up-

Old friends growing older

Experience slips away...

 

I find no absolution

In my rational point of view

Maybe some things are instinctive

But there's one thing you could do

You could try to understand me-

I could try to understand you...

 

It's not a matter of mercy

It's not a matter of laws

Plenty of people will kill you for some fanatical cause

 

It's cold comfort

To the ones without it

To know how they struggled-

How they suffered about it

PERSONAL PHILOSOPHICAL

 

Some are blessed and some are cursed

The golden one or scarred from birth

While others only see the worst

Such a lot of pain on the earth

 

Some days were dark

I wish that I could live it all again

Some nights were bright

I wish that I could live it all again

 

Though we might have precious little

It's still precious

 

Cast in this unlikely role,

Ill-equipped to act,

With insufficient tact,

One must put up barriers

To keep oneself intact.

 

All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary

'Cause sometimes the target is you

 

=======================================

 

PERSONAL DESTINY

 

Each of us

A cell of awareness

Imperfect and incomplete

Genetic blends

With uncertain ends

On a fortune hunt

That's far too fleet...

 

You don't get something for nothing

You don't get freedom for free

You won't get wise

With the sleep still in your eyes

No matter what your dreams might be

 

I was brought up to believe

The universe has a plan

We are only human

It's not ours to understand

 

All is for the best

Believe in what we're told

Blind men in the market

Buying what we're sold

Believe in what we're told

 

We can go from boom to bust

From dreams to a bowl of dust

We can fall from rockets' red glare

Down to "Brother can you spare-"

 

Like the rat in a maze who says,

"Watch me choose my own direction"

Are you under the illusion

The path is winding your way?

Are you surprised by confusion

When it leads you astray?

Have you lived a lifetime today -

Or do you feel like you just got carried away?

GLOBAL PHILOSOPHICAL

 

I thought of time and distance

The hardships of history

 

Big money take control

Big money got a mean streak

Big money got no soul...

 

The people were divided

Every soul a battlefield...

 

Now it's come to this

Like we're back in the dark ages

From the Middle East to the Middle West

It's a plague that resists our science

 

Truth is after all a moving target

Hairs to split, and pieces that don't fit

How can anybody be enlightened?

Truth is after all so poorly lit

 

Let the truth of love be lighted

Let the love of truth shine clear

Sensibility

Armed with sense and liberty

With the Heart and Mind united

In a single perfect sphere
